Convivial and inviting, Osteria's heart is its open main kitchen from which its award-winning menu of antipasti, homemade pastas, house-cured salumi, authentic Neapolitan and Roman-style pizzas, wood-grilled meats, seafood and decadent desserts are crafted.

Drawing its inspiration from traditional osterias found in Northern Italy, Osteria is the realization of a dream Vetri Family partners Jeff Benjamin and Chefs Marc Vetri and Jeff Michaud had while standing amongst the grapes of the Ca'Marcanda vineyards in Tuscany.

Since opening in 2007, Osteria has become one of the country's most critically acclaimed Italian restaurants, receiving a 3-out-of-4 bell review from the Philadelphia Inquirer, and earning Chef Michaud the 2010 James Beard Foundation Award for ""Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic"" for his work helming the kitchen."

Private Dining

Osteria draws its inspiration from traditional osterias found in Northern Italy. Classically designed to have a warm, inviting aesthetic, Osteria’s spacious dining room, glass-enclosed Patio, Wine Room and infamous Kitchen Table make it the perfect place for all occasions.

Service was top notch with beautiful ambiance and the perfect amount of privacy. Our special request for our anniversary was taken into account and even had a nice little surprise for dessert. Food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be coming back soon!

We have been there several times with prior ownership. Since then, service worse and slower, prices higher, weird and minimal dish selection (no salads, only fish option a one lb lobster...), wine still expensive. Pa don't bother with a "tasting option" for wine. Your full glass price even is smaller than ANY restaurant I have been in for the last 6 or 7 years. Last time I go there or recommend it.

Our reservation was at 9pm, but we were not seated until almost 9.45. The food was okay, but it made my girlfriend feel very sick once we got home. It completely ruined our Valentine’s Day. HIGHLY recommend against this restaurant, and it’s a big shame.

Went here for Valentine’s Day after hearing great things. We were seating in a back room almost directly on top of another table. There were only 3 other couples dining in this room and we were sat so close to another table I could hear everything they were saying, and they were whispering. There were plenty of other tables I assumed were being kept for bigger parties, but while we were dining, two other couples were ushered back and seated at the bigger tables. The apps were ok. We got the octopus and and scallops. Both had good flavor but were served to us cold. Our entree portions were small. Having never been there I didn’t know that we should’ve ordered more courses or sides. It wasn’t awful, I was just expecting more after hearing great things.

Everything we ordered was delicious , I wish there had been cake on the dessert menu but the polenta budino was delicious as well. Service here is exceptional and I really enjoyed being escorted by wait staff to the restroom. All of the staff members were very polite to a lady which made me feel special.

The customer service was amazing. I had left a message to see if they could put out flowers for my wifes birthday..they didn't BUT when I went to pay they brought her a scoop of ice cream with a candle. So I know they took the time to care for my needs which was amazing! I would recommend this place its very delicious and perfect for any occasion.

Great Everything!!! Service (go, Liz; Robert, the valet was terrific, too! Big smile, friendly efficient...)Fabulous food (skate, pear carpaccio!, incredible light small ravioli that explodes with the bite, perfect prosciutto (nice quantity) and Amazing chicken liver ragu rigatoni...unbelievableAmbiance reminds us of the spots we love in NY with a casual, alive warmth of decor as well as a very cool vibe!We’ll be back!

Service was extremely slow. arrived at 5PM, entries were not served till 6:15. Server knew we had to leave around 6:30. Food was very tasty, but luke warm. Had to rush eating, not able to really enjoy. Manager apologized and comped the first course.

This was my second time at Osteria and it wasn't as great as I remembered. The bread basket was as amazing as I remembered, and the food was good, but there was something off about the service and the pace and the overall experience. Might give it another try in the future to see if they get their groove back.

This was our third dinner at Osteria and each has been highly satisfying but this last trip may have been the best. Four of us had four different meals and each was shared and judged to be outstanding. Service is quite good with different servers having a well defined role and quite helpful in describing the dishes. We were in the outside enclosed area and actually prefer it to being inside since it's a bit more intimate. Osteria remains high on our list.

We have been dining at Osteria since it opened. Our meal last week was disappointing. The mortadella pizza had too much olive oil & the crust was not at all what we are used too. We each had a pasta dish and both agreed they too had too much oil.Not so sure if we will return

Service was excellent. Food was overpriced and extremely rich. If you have been to Italy this will be a big disappointment. The success of Italian cuisine is it's simplicity and freshness of ingredients. Our pasta was underwhelming, overloaded with cheese and overpriced. The scallops were ok but again overpriced. We had the restaurant week menu and this was our second time in three years trying this place because of a gift card we had laying around. We won't be back but it's a shame, the service is great.

Great service, our waitress on the patio on January 26 was outstanding, engaging, knew the menu and the wine list. Our food just lacked that outstanding feature, maybe was warmed up? It seemed like it should be more tasty. Both of our entries were different and we both had the same critiques of our dishes.

We tested this restaurant as part of Philly Restaurant week. We had a rabbit dish and ravioli. Both were excellent. The ravioli was stuffed with mushrooms and even though my daughter does not generally like mushrooms she loved them. They were so light they almost melted in your mouth. Amazing. For dessert he butter honey gelato was exquisite.

Came from NJ to take my son out to lunch. The atmosphere, service and food were all fantastic. Not rushed at all, had a great time and would recommend this restaurant to anyone. It's pricey, but worth it.

Service was outstanding. Food was very good - creative cooking, beautifully fresh ingredients, generally well-prepared. Only complaint is that - almost without exception - everything had just a little more salt in it than necessary.
